Taster Session

Description

Our Taster Sessions are a great way to experience what it’s like to learn computer coding with Spark4Kids. Most of the children who come to us have little or no coding experience, and so for a nominal fee, we offer the ability for children to try out coding before committing to the rest of the term.

Note: Taster Sessions are only available for term-time courses.

Taster Session Structure

The Taster Session usually lasts one hour, and generally, we advise that parents drop off their children and pick them at the end of the session. Of course, for those children who might take a little longer to get used to new surroundings, parents are welcome to stay as long as is required.

During the Taster Session, we will evaluate the child’s ability with a view to making a recommendation regarding which course they might want to consider. Of course, if the child has their own views on what course they want to attend, we will do our best to accommodate them or suggest a path towards being able to eventually take the course.

Registering for a Taster Session

Once you register for a Taster Session, you will be sent information about the session including how to get to the centre, what to do when you get there, as well as information on what to expect during the session.

With Spark4Kids, each child is assigned their own computer (which we provide), and using a combination of interactive audio-visual material and courseware, completes the Spark4Kids challenges in their own time. You do not need to bring anything to the Taster Session, all equipment will be provided.

Note that we allocate just 3 spaces for Taster Sessions each week, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

We look forward to seeing you at computer coding!
